Nigel Tranter avows that this could be the latest tower in Scotland (citing a panel of 1674) but this is open to challenge and the panel could be of a later date. Certainly it has been much altered (particularly in 1830) and even up and until the present day.

It is of the typical L-plan with a stair-tower in the re-entrant. The two corbelled turrets have had their tops trimmed to fit under a later slated roof which lost its crow stepping in the process.
